I've been fiddling with my coilovers to get the height pretty even all around but I either can't find even ground or am having a hard time adjusting, getting the springs to settle, then adjusting again.

The weird part is that I got the rears pretty close to even but my passenger side is threaded a good 0.5"-1" higher than my driver side. I originally installed them by matching up the threading as best I could using measuring tape but the rears were pretty off but the fronts were close.

I measured from the ground or center of the wheel up to the fender and I also double checked by measuring from the bumper to the ground. How did you guys get your coils dialed in and/or what was your method to adjust the height? Also, should I be worried that the rear passenger side is threaded significantly higher than the rear driver side yet is sitting somewhat close in height? Makes me wonder if I installed something wrong...

Adjust it by just counting the threads?
